Hairspray Tickets Information
The Hairspray musical is bright and colorful, upbeat and loud, funny and downright pee-your-pants hilarious, and fabulously, gloriously tacky!

Hairspray tickets give you an inside look into life as a big girl with big breasts and big hair and even bigger fish to fry. When Baltimore teenage fat girl Tracy Turnblad gets the chance of a lifetime - to dance on the hit Corny Collins Show, she goes from social pariah to superstar in a flash! But that's where her problems really begin. For now Tracy must oust the reigning Teen Queen, capture the love of a heart throb, and bring together a TV network - all while maintaining her perfect hair.

When Tracy Turnblad first appeared on the scene, the Hairspray musical was a movie - a 1988 hit that introduced to the world starlet, role model, and enamored talk show host to-be Ricki Lake. The Hairspray Broadway sensation started at the Neil Simon Theatre in 2002, where it earned Tony awards, and where it still plays today.

After two funs runs understudying the role, this run of the Hairspray Broadway musical finds Shannon Durig in the leading role. And if you get your Hairspray tickets now you'll see American Idol runner-up Diana DeGarmo costarring as Penny Pin gleton, and recording star Tevin Campbell as Seaweed J. Stubbs.

Possibly audiences' most favorite part of the Hairspray musical experience is Edna, the big man in the housedress, played currently by Blake Hammond, an almost-20 year Broadway veteran ("On the Town", "Kiss Me Kate", "The Music Man") and the touring company of "The Lion King" as Pumba. The role of Edna was originated by the great tranny Diva him/herself, and one of Jon Waters finds and personal favorites, Divine.

At the helm this time is Jack O'Brien, a Tony award winner (for "Porgy & Bess") and 2 time Tony nominee (for "The Full Monty" and "The Invention of Love") also known for "Damn Yankees", "Two Shakespearean Actors", and more recently "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas - the Musical!"

And here's a little-known fact about the musical score of the Hairspray Broadway musical - it was written by none other than Marc Shaiman, the songwriter for the groundbreaking animated feature film "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut).

The Hairspray musical's hilarious musical numbers include such memorable titles as "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now", "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs", "Welcome to the 60's", "Big, Blonde and Beautiful", "I Know Where I've Been", "Cooties", and the hip-shaking, foot-stomping "You Can't Stop the Beat".
